Rel is a Chicago nurse whose wife and kids left him after he finds out that she had an affair with his barber. Jessica Moore is his fast talking know-it-all sister. Jordan L. Jones plays Rel's sweet but dim-witted brother who just got out of jail and Sinbad is their tough but caring father.
The preview episode on Sept. 9 had Howery laughed at by everyone about his unfortunate situation with his wife and kids and the fact that the barber was the guy seeing Rel's wife behind his back.
The family's outrageously dressed pastor (also played by Howery) even fashions his sermon around Rel's problems.
Rel is definitely the sad sack underdog of this show but it isn't a mean spirited type of sitcom because the has family tries to help him even if their suggestions are comically way out of place. The laugh track might need to be toned down just a bit on this multi-camera comedy and maybe we will see some workplace antics later on but for now it's just a nice funny show. And that's saying a lot considering most of the dreck that's out there.
My grade: B
